Yes, it is true that the working copy essentially maintains a cache that
could be omitted in certain use cases. I don't think that a reasonable
proposal for an implementation of optionally disabling text-base caching
in wc-ng would be rejected without consideration by the developer
community.

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=525 should provide
enough proof that the functionality you desire is considered worthwhile
not just by yourself, but also by many others.
Especially if you consider that wc-ng is on the way now, and there is
a chance that it will make this task much easier to do than it was before.

But someone just has to do it.

Would you mind submitting a patch for tasks.html so that we'll have
this put up as another GSoC project idea for next year?

Thanks.
Stefan
